had a fall while i was rushing a few days back. was rather painful for a moment and it brought on a whole lot of other issues with it too. the pain was not just solely physical but also on the inside. i guess the fall was a tipping point for myself. through it, i learnt new things, and some of it were reminders of what i have had learnt...
falling down is really part of our lives, like the mistakes that we make. and they are never a 'full stop' unless we allow it to (quoting from yieling). the mistakes i make are not final nor
fa
tal unless i allow them to be. when we fall down, we just got to get up and try again. if we stay down, that would probably then mark the end for us at that point.
it is pretty much like how we were learning to walk as a kid. we stumble and fumble umpteen times along the way. and each time we fall, it hurts but don't we always get up again soon after, even on our own to try walking again. imagine if because of that fall, we never got up again, we probably would never learn to walk, or even to run, hop and sprint.
from the process of learning to walk, many of us learnt to be determined and acquired some sense of resilience. but yet while growing up, we probably lost some of it along the way. but i believe that we still have it in all of us. so what if we fail and fall, we just need to get up and try again. even if things would never be the same again, at least we know we gave our best to right things. my past mistakes are PAST, i need to overcome them, get up and move on...
children are gifts from God, teaching us the lessons that we have unlearned or forgotten along the way...
